Last year's X Factor winner Leon Jackson finally arrives on the scene next month with new material that will hopefully wash the bland taste of "When You Believe" out of the public's collective mouth.Gotta hand it to Leon and the 50 people working for Simon Cowell behind the scenes—his first proper single, "Don't Call This Love," is surprisingly good in a retro-'70s soul way. Sort of like Duffy meets Nixon/Ford-era Philadelphia.
I can actually see Leon following in the footsteps of fellow X Factor alum Leona Lewis and crossing over in America with this...which is probably what Cowell had in mind all along.
Jackson's full album Right Now is out October 20 in the U.K.
